Marcel Schwob: Les Remorqueurs De Macchabés (Poème)

  

Les Remorqueurs De Macchabés

Allons, Polyte, un coup de croc:
Vois-tu comme le mec ballotte.
On croirait que c’est un poivrot
Ballonné de vin qui barbote;
Pour baigner un peu sa ribote
Il a les arpions imbibés:
Mince, alors, comme il nous dégote,
Pauv’ remorqueurs de macchabés.
Allons, Polyte, au petit trot,
Le mec a la mine pâlotte:
Il a bouffé trop de sirop;
Bientôt faudra qu’on le dorlote,
Qu’on le bichonne, qu’on lui frotte
Les quatre abatis embourbés.
Vrai, dans le métier on en rote.
Pauv’ remorqueurs de Macchabés.

Allons, Polyte, pas d’accroc,
Tu pionces plus qu’une marmotte,
Nous pinterons chez le bistro:
Le nouveau dab de la gargote
A le nez comme une carotte
Pour tous les marcs qu’il a gobés.
Un verre, ça vous ravigote,
Pauv’ remorqueurs de macchabés!

ENVOI

Prince, Polyte de la flotte,
Plus boueux que trente barbets,
Nous vivons toujours dans la crotte,
Pauv’ remorqueurs de macchabés!

Marcel Schwob
